1. What is your favorite comic? Why? Has it changed since you read McCloud's and David's readings?
2. Do you get distracted by the details of a comic if it is complex? Does a detailed comic make it hard to follow the story line?
3. McCloud mentions on page 31 how film critics "sometimes describe a live-action film as a 'cartoon' to acknowledge the stripped-down intensity of a simple story or visual style." Translating that to the architecture world, do you think that is how architectural critics think? When presenting your work, do you allow your critics to simplify your project on their own or do you help them through this process? Is that the point of creating diagrams, tracings, and mappings?
3. McCloud said that "we assign identities and emotions (to things) where none exist." Why do you think we do this?
4. David mentions in his reading the importance of scale figures in drawings. He gives the example of Le Corbusier's drawings of jardin suspendu, where the scale figures in the drawings are interacting in the space and moving within it. With this example in mind, how does thinking about the placement and activity of the scale figures in your drawings make you think about space? As opposed to just dropping them in?
